Blood of the Lamb

Lev 14:25 And he shall kill the lamb of the trespass offering, and the priest shall take some of the blood of the trespass offering, and put it upon the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot

The lamb of the trespass offering.
The blood of the trespass offering.
To be cleansed.

Isa 53:5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
Isa 53:6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
Isa 53:7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.

A lamb was ONLY ever brought to be slain as an offering to God for CLEANSING. The blood of the slain lamb was used for cleansing. Every single time a blood offering was made it was made as sacrifice for something man had done in sin. Blood is NOT shed in sacrifice without a reason.

1Pe 1:18 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;
1Pe 1:19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot

We are NOT redeemed by anything other than the PRECIOUS BLOOD OF CHRIST! Christ the LAMB of GOD!

Joh 1:29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world

Isa 64:6 But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.

We are clothed in FILTHY RAGS- OUR RIGHTEOUSNESSES are filthy rags. Is it any wonder we must be WASHED in the blood of the Lamb? Only the blood of the Lamb can redeem us. Only the blood of the Lamb has any cleansing power. There is not a single thing on earth that can cleanse us, that can take away the stains of sin that lays upon us thickly. Not one million good deeds for a single deed of evil will cleanse us from that stain of evil. We try to cleanse ourselves all too often. We try to redeem ourselves. We are constantly trying to make up for the wrong we've committed. We try to justify our evil acts in all sorts of ways and unfortunately Satan is all too eager to tell us we are justified, that there was good reason for our evil actions. We were provoked into committing evil. We were done evil and that warrants our justification to return evil for evil. We have RIGHTS we are born with those rights which allow us to justify ourselves. We are all about our individual rights. If we sin it is only because we are too weak to do otherwise, and it's not our fault we were made weak. It's not our fault we were born with a propensity towards sin. It's NOT our fault we are filthy so because it's not our fault we are NOT accountable. WRONG! We are accountable! We might not be Eve who sinned first, or Adam who sinned second - but we just like them are given a CHOICE. We are given a choice and that choice is whether or not we will choose to WASH our robes in the blood of the Lamb. It is our choice whether or not we will accept the sacrifice made for our filthy sinfilled state. We do not have to accept it, it's our choice. Adam and Eve were originally clothed in righteousness- the righteousness given them by God and it was their choice to disobey and that righteousness God clothed them with, they stained with sinned, with disobedience. The only way the filthy righteousness is made clean is by the Lamb's blood. We choose.

Rev 7:14 ...These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

Rev 12:11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.

Rev 22:11 He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.

Mat 17:2 And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.

Rev 3:5 He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.

Rev 3:18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.

Rev 4:4 And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold.

Act 20:28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.

We are purchased with Jesus Christ's blood, His amazing, His precious, precious blood.

Psa 51:5 Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.

Psa 51:8 Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.
Psa 51:9 Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.

Psa 51:11 Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.
Psa 51:12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.

AMEN.
